Streets of Rage could be awesome if they make it AWESOME.
What I envision is something between RE6 melee and Dead Rising. So you keep that medium pace instead of going full DMC/Bayonetta, and you have a balance between regular strikes and semi-cinematic harder contextual strikes. I feel this could best be managed by a rage meter that refills pretty quickly over time but is used pretty quickly, so it is often available but not unlimited. The rage would let you do something cool like say if you picked up a pipe, if you were out you'd just attack like normal, or you hold the rage button as you go at an enemy and it makes you charge at them (camera goes to close over the shoulder view) and deal a really crushing hit with it.
This would generate a self-directed flow for the use of your might. You could finish beating one enemy normally and then run over to hit the next guy in the stomach hard enough to start a good combo, or you could use your rage to do a suplex finish on the current enemy and just walk over to the next to fight them normally. It would make a nice rhythm of brawling while not feeling too automated like Arkham systems, but rather creative by your own choices. It would also allow a sense of limits on your strength that could, at times, perhaps be removed for a short time to make you feel like you're really raging out.
You would also have a hype meter used for super attacks that builds by a combination of beating guys up and shit-talking, which would have a dedicated button. Just like the rage attacks, the shit-talking would be fully contextual so it is surprising/funny/hype, playing off the situation/what happened/method of beating they're using/making fun of enemy's outfit (Sleeping Dogs showed these varieties can be done), but if all you do is spam it then your character doesn't have anything to talk from so they default to lamer lines that start to repeat and it doesn't build hype, and even degrades hype if all you do is keep trying to be clever off nothing.
I feel we have the technology to do heavily contextual gameplay like this now, and it would be for the best. There are too many games that improve graphics but it's just mindless smack smack smack like your character is an infinite-energy fighting robot. With real combat people feel the intensity of the moment, need more reserved moments, talk shit offensively or defensively, etc. You need ways to include this without bullshit like a stamina meter that often doesn't sync with the player's feelings and just limits them. That's why stuff like perfect dodge and parry chains (not automated, sorry Arkham) are so loved, because they give the player the ability to synchronize with the action in a dynamic way.

Shenmue is coming back though, I mean we're getting Shenmue 3 right? I would have said Virtua Fighter myself. Though Streets of Rage was awesome.

I kinda envisiona new Streets of Rage like a Yakuza game. It's the only way to take the series seriously, deliver a high-longevity game and engage a new traction to this series without relying too much on nostalgia

No no no. Streets of Rage Mania. Thats the way to go. Dont change it. Just the same, but better.

Yeah. I'm not sure if that one counts as a true Virtual On game. If I were a die hard fan of the series, I wouldn't be happy.

Jet Set Radio for sure. And Virtual Fighter.

So they're just going to pretend Skies of Arcadia doesn't exist? The all star racing gave me so much hope ):

They're rereleasing Shenmue 1 & 2.
They're making Shenmue 3.
They've made a million Yakuza games.
They've remade Yakuza 1 & 2.
Sonic Mania scratched that retro Sonic itch.
...All that's left if for them to do is release PSO2 in the west or make a brand new PSO. ...And release the damn thing in the west!

Really damn sad shining force is not listed. Also sad that their phantasy star option is only PSO.

I'd kill for a modern shining force. Just use the old shining force design pattern. Interesting and likeable characters, grounded story, cool battles with a not too complex strategy system, upgrading your weapons, exploring the world etc. Is it that hard sega? Shining Force 2, to me is still the pinnacle of sRPGs .
Also seeing Panzer Dragoon that low is a bit disheartening to be honest and I've never even heart of "sakura wars".

Well, hopefully if enough people buy digital versions of PD Orta when it comes out tomorrow, Sega will see that the demand is there.

Nintendo and Sega are the worst at letting franchises die.
